whether synaptic add mutiarch or not

[FateRover]

Recently,i noticed that while i installing wine by synaptic,it will not add

Code: Select all

dpkg --add-archietecture i386

,but debian wiki manully install will do it by command line ,so whether synaptic add mutiarch automatic or not

As far as I know, adding an architecture can only be done on the command line with dpkg, as in the wiki.

So,that mean synaptic may missing some depens while installing some pack which are need i386 ,for example, wine installed by synaptic actually isnt completely?

The `--add-architecture` flag only needs to be passed once (and the repository database updated) for the extra architecture to be added to the system, you don't need to use it each time you add new packages.

the question is which package is the first one need to add-architecture i386.if you never do it by cl, wine or bumblebee or something else needing i386 will not install completely .i think synaptic shoud check the dependencies and make alert to add architecture by comandline if i386 is needed,for better user experience

You should use reportbug, and make whislist request, devs are not here.
